Polymers and formulation

A restriction lands, a supplier exits, or a customer tightens a spec.

A reformulation programme can run to years while the transition window is set in months. The candidate work done before anything is mixed is where that time comes back.

The replacement, screened on your own formulation.

When a compounding batch fails instead, the cause is separated from the coincidence across the batches you keep.

What it does here

Candidates are scored against the properties your spec turns on: solubility from Hansen parameters, behaviour in the real mix from activity coefficients, flash point and viscosity from group contribution.

We are building this now.

The same engine runs coating analysis in production today, and this industry is where we are taking it next: the same agents and models, fitted to the records this industry keeps. The case slots below stay empty until there is real work in them and a customer who agrees to publish it.

A forced substitution, start to finish

The trigger, the candidate work, the shortlist, and what the bench confirmed. Published once a customer agrees to be the subject.

Your own case

The fastest way to see the work on this kind of problem is to put one of yours in front of it.
